Proverbs 26:21 in other translations
As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
Like charcoal for embers and wood for fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindling strife.

In context
18 Kama mtu mwendawazimu anayetupa mishale,
19 ndivyo alivyo ambaye humdanganya jirani yake na kusema, “ Je sikuwa naongea utani?”
20 Kwa kukosa kuni, moto huzimika; na pale pasipo na mmbea ugomvi hukoma.
21 Mkaa ni kwa kuwasha makaa na kuni kwa ajili ya moto, ndivyo alivyo mtu mgomvi kwa kuwasha ugomvi.
22 Maneno ya mmbea ni kama chembe tamu; nazo zinashuka chini kwenye sehemu za ndani ya mwili.
23 Kioo kinachofunika chombo cha udongo ni kama midomo inayoungua na moyo mbaya.
24 Yule ambaye huwachukia wengine huficha hisia zake kwa midomo na hufunika uongo ndani yake mwenyewe.
